Thread: First Week In...

...and I've lost 4lb!

I paid a visit to my doctor last tuesday - 6th November - and he told me I had very high blood pressure and may have to go on tablets depending on the next 2 readings. I am now on a mission to lower it! So I joined Slimming World on the 7th November and weighed in at 15st10lb. Absolutely shocked with myself! But heyho, onwards and upwards so I had my first weigh-in yesterday and lost 4lb! I am so chuffed with myself but also I know I have a long way to go. But now I know it is do-able and feel motivated.

I spent my first week drinking water, water and more water and snacking on fruit. I was starving the first day! But a week on, I suddenly don't feel so hungry and am finding less cravings for things. So it has proven to me that I can make changes and still enjoy what I eat.

Fingers crossed, I can keep it up!

You have done so well Congrats on your loss!!!!

The thing with slimming world is you should never feel hungry, if your hungry then eat, just eat foods your allowed, don't be afraid of big portions and snacking, I eat like a pig and I have lost every week so far
Snacks don't have to be fruit, they can be any free or super free food!
I look forward to reading how your getting on.

What a great start - 4.5 off! Keep it up and dont ever allow yourself to get hungry! Ax

Thank you both!!
